JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather Jr. is famous for his controversial statements. Recently, he threw everything towards Canelo Alvarez, whom he has called so famous since appearing in the opening party of his fight.

"The problem is Canelo achieved fame because he fought in the same event as me, he was in the opening fight. All the time we fought on the same day, he fought in front of me and his main goal was to fight me," Mayweather told FightHype.com quoted from Marca on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions backed up his boss's criticism of Canelo, when talking about the trilogy between the Mexican boxer and Kazakhstan's Gennady Golovkin.

Because, according to him, it was a fight that boxing fans were less interested in.

"They're trying to build a fight that nobody cares about. It's funny at this moment. Canelo Alvarez just lost and made 120k pay per view (vs. Dmitry Bivol) combined on cable/satellite in the US, I repeat, 120K combined," Ellerbe said.

These words came in response to the statement of Eddie Hearn, who is the chief promoter of Matchroom Boxing.

For Hearn, the Canelo vs. GGG 3 match was more important than the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford fight, hosted by Mayweather Promotions.
